That is the main problem - it is a sealed container. When it needs a new battery I send it back to the manufacurer... Hey, there is a thought - some of the (s)MAC laptops are like that too. And I assume they let you fly with one of those (though why you would want to is beyond me <evil grin>).

I think I'll get to the airport a bit early (both directions) and either give it back to the husband or mail it back if they give me issues. Now to find out if San Jose has a post office in the airport BEFORE the security check-point.
